“Sanibel Island Beach Resort offers a revitalized beachfront experience, evident in its updated rooms and focus on island charm; proximity to the beach and a lively Tiki bar enhance the stay. However, persistent pest issues and some rushed post-hurricane finishes temper the overall impression, needing attention to ensure lasting quality. Still, it remains a solid base for enjoying Sanibel's natural beauty.”
